Real Name vs Fake Name on Fake ID

• FakeIDs Editorial • 2 min read • 320 words

Real Name or Fake Name?

Every FakeIDs customer asks this. Here is the honest answer.

Real Name - Pros

Matches databases if run. You can receive mail. Feels natural when someone calls your name.

Real Name - Cons

Directly tied to your identity if confiscated. Some prefer separation.

Fake Name - When It Works

For basic age verification, a fake name is fine. Bouncers check age and photo, not name databases.

Recommendation

Use your real first name and a variant of your last name. Feels natural but adds a layer of separation.
